Publisher Notes
In this highly original exploration of James Joyces interest in sexual questions, Richard Brown corrects the critical misapprehension that Joyce remained aloof and disengaged from the intellectual and social concerns of his time, and propounds a new account of Joyces work as modern in its sexual ideas and literary form. He further asserts that the stylistic modernity may arise, in part, as a response to the difficulties of dealing with sex. The book is centered on four main foci of interest: Joyce's extensive reading on the question of marriage and its impact on his work, his responses to the new sexual ideology as expounded in the writings of Freud and Havelock Ellis, his concern with such feminist issues as sexual division and difference, and the degree to which the major works can only be understood as responses to readings of other texts.
